Transmitter Setup (Continued)
UniPak Transmitter Input Connection
Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the audio input jack on the bottom of the transmitter. A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak input connector (see “Optional System Accessories” on page 28). The cable connector latches automatically when inserted into the transmitter jack. To unlatch and remove the connector, simply pull up on the connector’s knurled metal collar.
UniPak Transmitter Antenna
The AEW-T1000 transmitter includes two field-replaceable antennas. A flexible-wire antenna is supplied mounted on the transmitter, while a separate short, helical antenna is supplied with the accessories. Either antenna simply screws into the transmitter’s antenna fitting. Check the installed antenna occasionally to make certain it is snugly attached (only finger- tight). The helical antenna is more convenient physically but may not have the operating range of the wire antenna. The wire antenna should hang down, at its full length, from the bottom of the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; try the wire antenna; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt to modify either transmitting antenna. Replace them only with the same parts, available from the Audio-Technica Service Department.
Handheld Transmitter Antenna
The antenna for the handheld mic/transmitter is in the black, non-metallic section at the bottom of the unit (see Figure K on page 18). For best results, hold the mic/transmitter naturally, around its painted metal case. Holding or otherwise covering the antenna housing may reduce operating range.
UniPak Transmitter Mounting Clip
The UniPak transmitter’s mounting clip may be installed with the case positioned either “up” or “down,” depending upon which is preferred for the particular application. To turn the clip around, spring the ends of the clip out of the two holes on the sides of the transmitter case (see Figure J on page 18) and reinstall it facing in the opposite direction.
